FUNCTION

Ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), also known as allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), is a 147 amino acid cytoplasmic, calcium-binding protein that is thought to play a role in macrophage activation and function. Iba1, containing two EF domains, is induced by cytokines and interferons. In an unstimulated state, Iba1 colocalizes with actin, and upon stimulation, translocates to lamellipodia. It is also a marker of human microglia and is expressed by macrophages in injured skeletal muscle. The gene encoding Iba1 maps to chromosome 6p21.33 and resides in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cluster of genes located in the region represented by the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
